multi-tasking is an excellent way to get nothing done. Studies have shown where people who multi-task and attempt to complete multiple tasks at once rarely get anything finished...and you don't get that feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day.
Then you've got multiple projects hanging over your head all the time and the next day...that's where it begins to steamroll into a whole new set of tasks (that you rarely complete).
Multi-tasking is fine if you can manage to have a start and finish to each project. It doesn't mean the task has to be complete -- but as long as you get to the point you had planned to get to.
But most people who multi-task tend to jump from A to B to C to B to A...then to D, F, and H...
Completing a single "planned" task from start to finish before moving onto the next project not only makes you feel better...but also motivates you to go forward with a new set of goals and tasks.
To being organized!
